‘It will be harder on us’: Palestinians weigh up impact of Trump election win
  • I didn't trust people like you to keep my queer daughter

    every person who didn't vote for harris due to gaza could have voted for harris multiple times and harris still would've lost

    a defeat like this couldn't have been prevented with one issue

    and if in some bizarre world it was, and harris chose to stay that line regardless, then how is that not harris throwing the election?

    regardless, i'm glad you're getting out and wish you the best in the uk. you might be in for some rough times with badenoch, but hopefully you'll weather that storm

  • ‘It will be harder on us’: Palestinians weigh up impact of Trump election win
  • if you honestly believe that's the future of the us, you should probably leave the country

    you should probably have been planning to leave the country for the last three months, since the election never went more than 60% in harris' favor

  • being angry at voters who didn't vote the way you wanted them to isn't going to actually achieve anything, though

    harris didn't even win the popular vote. it wasn't even a particularly close election. you can't not blame the dnc after a defeat like this.

    can't answer for wow but i imagine the change is similar for runescape, where

    • people engage with the game more efficiently than before, which slurps the fun out
    • people have jobs now, so they don't have as much free time to play games
  • Nostalgia and remake culture
    • absolute population growing
    • share of population with feasible access to pokemon-compatible consoles growing
    • share of population who see video games as a legitimate pastime growing

  • Like, what "leeway" does Kamala have to say anything different than she already has, which she could shift to?

    a significant enough chunk of her voter base credibly withholding a vote based on a desired policy change would force a shift toward that desired policy change

    i'd say biden's platform in 2020 was significantly more left-wing than clinton's in 2016

    But that was then, and this is now.

    this is the same "it's too late" or "it's too unprecedented" or whatever you want to pick that was exactly the justification for biden being kept in as long as he was

    I think it really does show voting not for a 3rd party but voting for the other side b/c "bOtH sIdEs ArE tHe SaMe" (the title of the post), specifically wrt genocide.

    people the post targets aren't voting red. they're just not voting at all, or voting third party. it's an argument to a position held by an insignificant fraction of the left-anti-harris crowd.

    it doesn't address the core issue they have. they'd say that continuing to vote for the least-bad party is the reason both parties are bad, and that at a certain point you have to attempt to force a more radical change.

  • anybody on the left withholding their vote at this point fundamentally disbelieves in a system with exactly two discrete options, so this type of post doesn't persuade anybody
